Why do we fall in love?

6. The talk, And more...

What is Ava hates me now, what is she doesn't want to be my friend anymore. She said I needed to fuck whoever, or maybe she meant whoever in a guy. This is also new to me, I think a part of me has always known but hasn't accepted it.
"Can you please say something?" I say a little choppily and try to hold back the tears.
"You like a girl" She hates me, everyone in my family will hate me. I will not have any of my family left.
"Do you hate me?" I say as I feel the tears start to slowly fall.
"Huh, no, of course not. I'm just surprised, I mean you're the grayest person I know" she says with a light laugh at the end. Of course she says I'm gray. I'm just glad she's not mad at me for liking a girl, and not just any girl like Leah Williamson, someone at my job that I'll have to deal with in my job. God, I feel dirty. Ava will love it, and I will never stop hearing it.
"Who is it?What is her name?Do I know who she is?" She asks in spirit for a while, I kind of don't want to say.
"uh, well" I want to drag this out as much as possible.
"Don't drag it out, I know you do. It can't be that bad, what is it, someone at your job" she says and starts laughing. I don't say anything. I take a big gulp of my wine and have a guilty look on my face."Oh my god, you're kidding" Ava says completely in shock, I just shake my head and say "no". "It's dirty, wait, is it one of the football players or some of your working friends?" Ava now says with raised eyebrows. I really don't want to tell her, it's not like Leah is a private person, and I hardly know if I just think she's pretty or if I want to be with her. I've never been with a girl, I don't know how it works.
"eh, player" I say snappily before putting mint head in my hands.
"you're kidding" asks Ava, why would I joke about this.
"no" I mumble into my hands, Ava just laughs. "
What's her name, please tell me she's pretty and likes girls, then I can finally fuck someone and not act like an aunt who's sexually frustrated" Says Ava happily without any shame what she just called me. and why is it all this girl can think of that I managed to fuck someone, just because I'm not out every weekend having sex but a new person every time.
"Okay first of all don't call me an aunt who is sexually frustrated, and secondly yes she is very pretty and cute at the same time and her eyes are so blue that I die" I say while smiling.
"So she has blue eyes, but what's the woman's name?" I don't want to say because I know she will stalk her instagram or something. "Promise that you won't stalk her," I say, even though I know she will do it anyway. "Promise" replied Ava with a smug smile. god why is it so hard to say her name. "um, uh, okay, so her name is Leah, Leah Williamson" I say, okay it still went well. until I look at Ava's face. she had dropped her jaw and just stared at me, for a while. "uh, are you okay?" I ask, as I start to get a little worried. That was until she got back that damn smug smile. "What are you doing?" I ask when I notice that she is typing on her mobile, she doesn't scold me, she just continues to have a smug smile on her face.
"finding her instagram, which isn't that hard after you want to fuck a famous person" Answer Ava as she types.
"I don't just want to fuck her, I want to get to know her and know her favorite met and lie in bed and have a movie night" I say while thinking how cozy it sounds, I've never wanted to have a cozy movie night with someone, on that way. Ava lifted from her writing, and looked at me.
"okay one so you want to fuck her, I showed that you weren't so innocent, And two dress up really sexy, we're going to the pub" I felt myself start to blush when Ava said I wanted to fuck Leah, because ag can't say she's wrong. But then she said we were going to the pub, and I really don't want to.
"why are we going to the pub, I just want to be at home on my sofa and drink my wine" I say as I snuggle down more on the sofa, Ava just rolls her eyes. "we're going to go out and celebrate the fact that you're no less a gray aunt, and that you've figured out that you like girls."says Ava as she starts to put on her make-up, I started to think, it's been a while since me and Ava were out together at the pub. It would be fun to talk to her about everything that's happened, and she'd be happy that I'm out and not on my couch. "Okay, we can go out, but it won't be very late, at one o'clock i the latest." I say to Ava and she starts clapping her hands because she is so happy.
"I'm so happy, dress sexy but also casual and I'll come to you at fifteen" she says as she stands in front of her wardrobe.
"Okay see you soon, love you" I say as I walk towards my closet.
"Love you too" Ava says before hanging up.
"Okay clothes" I say to myself.

I've been standing in front of my wardrobe for ten minutes before I really figure out what to wear, until I got down to tights, but a mini black skirt and a white sweater, with a blazer over it. And sockets remind black boots with heels. I put on my earrings when I hear a car honking outside. I take my bag and keys and go out to the car.

"wow, you look like a hot secretary, I like it" Ava says as I get in the car,
"I don't look like a hot secretary, I'm wearing a shorter skirt than usual" I say a little defense, Ava just laughs
"however you dress, you look nice" she says
"Thanks, you look great too, which pub are we going to?" I ask as she hasn't heard it yet, and I guess it's some of our regulars.
"there's some pub in the Soho area" she says and I'm just surprised, we've hardly ever been there, at least to a pub, just a bit of shopping. "
Soho? Why exactly there? We're never there and it doesn't take like half an hour minutes to go there? is there anything special there?" I ask Ava but she just has a smug smile,"you'll see soon." That's all she says with a smug smile, there must be cheap strong drinks there or something like that, you might think she's an alcoholic sometimes.

The rest of the drive goes quickly. We sat at the bar and talked about work and things in general. Once we get to the pub. If there are people outside and you can hear the music, Ava steps out of the picture and takes my hand and literally drags me into the pub. and I'm just confused why she wants to go in there so much. Once we got in, it's quite a big dance hall where people could sit and a bar. Of course we go to the bar first. "Can I have a tequila shot, Vodka Cranberry and a mojito, please? '' Ava says to the bartender, she knows I always have a mojito when we're at the pub. While we wait I look around a bit how it looks until the bar bartender gives us our drinks. It's not even ten seconds before Ava's tequila shot is gone, I just laugh how anyone can like tequila.
"So you might be wondering why we're at this particular pub" Ava says to me as I take a sip of my drink, which is actually good.
"Well, it can't be because they have cheap drinks, because it was so expensive" I say and Ava just starts laughing "no, it's not for cheap drinks. it's for something else, and you have to promise not to be angry, and I just wanted to help you" she sucks with such a kind smile that I won't like what she's going to say.
"What have you done" I say a little sarcastic but mostly right on what she will say.
"Look behind you, in the booth" is what she says anyway. I look at her confused and turn to look in the booth. But I only see people drinking and talking, so I don't understand what Ava means. Until I see Beth and Vivianne in a booth with some other arsenal girls I saw earlier today. I just hope Leah isn't here, I think to myself. until I see a blonde person walking towards their booth. Shit. It's Leah. I turn back to Ava who just starts laughing when she sees my face.
"What have you done," I say to Ava who just laughs at me.
"I went on her Instagram and saw that she was here with her friends, so I thought I'd help you a little" she says as she takes a sip of her drink. I have to get out of here, I don't want her to see me in a pub, I've barely started work.
"We have to go now" I say to Ava, but she just shakes her head and says "We can't go now, your future girlfriend is walking towards you with her friends" she says with a smug smile. I just look at her with a panicked face, until I look behind me and see Leah walking towards Beth and Vivianne. I look back at Ava who just smiles at me, "I'm going to kill you" I tell her, she just replies with "love you too", I'm not going to answer until I have Beth's voice.
"Emma, ​​what are you doing here?" she says as she starts to hug me. As I hug her I make eye contact but Leah and I feel like my knees are going weak. "Beth I can ask you the same" I say as we stop hugging. "
hi Vivianne" I say to her while I smile "hi" she says back to me. I turn mine to Leah and her blue eyes and her clothes are so fine. ahh. I don't know what to do with my heart.
"Hi Leah" I say to her, she has a smug smile and answers me "Hey boss" she says while keeping eye contact, and I feel a strange tingling through my body and my knees go weak. I guess I'm in my bubble when I hear Ava's voice. "So this is the famous Leah you've been hearing about since you got a new job" says Ava and I just stand there completely frozen and say nothing, until I look at Leah who has a smug smile on her face and says "so you've been talking about me?" she says with still a smug smile on her face.
I don't know what to say, "uh..."
